Topic: Anyone received theirs yet? (Read 15273 times)

Roughly 130 brand-new Retrodes went out to their new owners yesterday - some (overseas) will certainly take a bit longer, but others might already arrive today or tomorrow, depending on how far you are from Germany. So let us know when your Retrode arrives, and how you like it!

Recieved my Retrode2 today! Belmont Massachusetts. Cartridges load up just great in bsnes, and my SNES controller works like a charm. Unfortunately my entire Genesis collection is still in NY but I will have to remedy that soon and let you know how wonderful it works for Genesis games too!

Great work, it looks beautiful. I am excited to show it off to all my friends.

I still have my first one. It works fine with the exception of a few SNES games. I am debating over waiting for the batch that properly handles the SNES lockout chip or get a new one for my cousins to use. I have Super Mario RPG. Speaking of that lockout chip, do you know which SNES games take advantage of it or the signs of a game that has it that someone might notice while playing on an SNES? I am kind of wondering if Tetris Attack may be one of them.

Some times modern video game characters chase older ones. Some times older video game characters just say the wrong thing.

Well, that explains my problems with Kirby Super Star. It appears that Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG, and Kirby's Dreamland 3 are the three (North-American) games that use the SA-1 chip. Here's the relevant Wikipedia article:

Sorry to disappoint but for that one you may have to wait forever

Thanks to everyone who's posting pictures and reports! Glad you like the device. If you think there is something wrong (which is not 100% out of the possible, after all, this is the very first batch where I wasn't personally involved in the production pipeline), please let me know.
